I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Wan Yuandong frowned and watched Ma Ximing's back disappearing into the darkness, his eyes instantly becoming cold.

He was just about to arrange for his family to temporarily live in a farm outside Beijing when Ma Ximing suddenly said these words.

What is the deep meaning behind this?

If what Ma Ximing said was true, then he really needed to evacuate his family as soon as possible.

If the Xiao family rebelled, the first thing Emperor Wu of Liang would do was to capture the Xiao family's relatives as hostages.

So --- what if what Ma Ximing said was false?

If he took any action, would he fall directly into Emperor Wu of Liang's trap?

Wan Yuandong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"Someone come..."

Soon, more than a dozen disguised guards quietly rushed out of the Wan Mansion.

After Wan Yuandong watched the guards leave, he thought for a long time alone in the living room, but he still didn't dare to take that step.

If you take this step wrong, there will be no recovery...

“Oh~oh~oh~~~”

The crowing of roosters brought Wan Yuandong back to his senses as he sat in the living room.

He looked at the courtyard with a tired face. The sky was already slightly bright. It was time to attend the morning court...

......

"General Yao..."

After the morning court session, Wan Yuandong deliberately moved closer to Yao Hai.

As he passed by Yao Hai, he let out a soft sound from between his teeth.

Yao Hai paused, turned his head and looked at Wan Yuandong who was staring at him as he passed by.

Um! ?

Yao Hai looked at Wan Yuandong with puzzled eyes, and then looked around.

There was no one else next to him, and it was Wan Yuandong who called him just now.

What the hell is Wan doing?!

At the beginning, the man surnamed Wan snatched away his favorite son-in-law, which made him so angry that he disliked the man surnamed Wan for several years.

Aren't you, the daughter of a civil servant, a perfect match for Xiao Yunyou, the military advisor?

He is a military general, okay? His daughter also loves to wield swords and guns, so she is a perfect match for Xiao Yunhao.

Who knew that before he could even open his mouth, the shameless man named Wan found someone to express his intention to form a marriage alliance with the Xiao family.

God knows how much he admires Xiao Yunhao's martial arts...

Yao Hai rolled his eyes at Wan Yuandong's back, swung his sleeves and strode forward, surpassing Wan Yuandong in a few steps.

The moment he passed Wan Yuandong, he heard the mosquito-like voice again - "General Yao!".

Yao Hai paused, frowned and looked back at Wan Yuandong.

This time he was absolutely sure that it was the man named Wan who was responsible.

"you-----"

Wan Yuandong looked at Yao Hai's huge mouth which was about to open, and quickly winked at him.

Fool!

But don't talk to him.

If someone saw this, they might say something nonsense in front of Emperor Wu of Liang.

Ever since the Xiao family was confiscated and exiled, the relatives of the Xiao family never dared to visit each other again.

Especially after knowing that Xiao Yunzhan killed the escorting officials and escaped with the women of the Xiao family, they have been cautious in their words and actions in the court.

They did not dare to have any contact with each other in private, for fear of arousing the suspicion of Emperor Wu of Liang.

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he would never dare to go to Yao Hai this time.

He didn't even dare to let the servant go to Yao's house to deliver the letter, as only he knew about this matter.

Yao Hai looked at Wan Yuandong, whose eyes were about to pop out of his head in anxiety, and immediately shut his mouth.

He is a military general, yes, but he is not stupid.

Looking at Wan Yuandong's expression, someone must be watching him, so it's not convenient to talk to him in public.

"Cough cough~"

Yao Hai cleared his throat and looked up at the sky.

"The sun is so big, I'm afraid the sky will be full of stars at night..."

After Yao Hai sighed, he took big steps and quickly disappeared from Wan Yuandong's sight.

He had no doubt that Wan Yuandong would definitely understand the time he had agreed on.

Wan Yuandong pulled the corners of his lips and lowered his eyelids to cover the slightly helpless smile in his eyes.

This was also fortunately because there were not many people around them and Yao Hai's voice was very low.

Otherwise, based on Yao Hai's hint, anyone with a normal brain would be able to guess something.

Wan Yuandong sighed, shook his head helplessly and walked into the mansion.

never mind!

He couldn't ask so much of Yao Hai, a rough guy. Being able to do this was beyond his expectations...

......

"Mr. Wan, what do you want from me?"

Yao Hai found his way to Wan Yuandong's study smoothly. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wan Yuandong waiting for him in the study.

Old guy, you are so mysterious.

The entire Wan Mansion was deserted, without even a servant or guard on night watch.

What is this to say? Why is it so mysterious?

Wan Yuandong, who was in a daze, was startled when he heard Yao Hai's voice suddenly.

He quickly got up and walked to the door of the study, stuck his head outside to look around, then quickly closed the door.

"No one followed you when you came here?"

Wan Yuandong turned to look at Yao Hai, his face full of nervousness.

If anyone follows them, they won't be able to talk about anything tonight.

Looking at Wan Yuandong's nervous expression, Yao Hai also felt a little nervous in his heart.

He frowned and thought carefully.

"...Probably not. I was very careful when I came here."

"What happened?"

Yao Hai stared at Wan Yuandong with wide eyes, and immediately noticed that Wan Yuandong's temples had suddenly turned gray.

This is really a big deal.

He remembered that not long ago, Wan Yuandong had no gray hair on his temples.
